Friuli Venezia Giulia<br />
ITALY<br />
The City of San Floriano del Collio nestles among gently rolling hills covered with vineyards, cherry trees and<br />
acacia woods, within the Friuli Venezia Giulia region near the Slovenian border. It is here that Mariano and his wife<br />
Loredana planted their first vineyard on a small plot of land in 1972. Luwa is derived from combining the names<br />
Luana and Walter, Mariano and Loredana’ s children. “...that’s why we decided to call the estate Ascevi Luwa.”<br />
The Collio vineyards are situated at an altitude<br />
between 590 - 820 feet above sea level in soil with<br />
good structure and mineral content made up of<br />
stratified marl and sandstone. Most of the estate’s<br />
production comes from these vineyards. Ronco<br />
dei Vignali is a zone within this area. The winery’ s<br />
production is based on several key factors: Vineyards<br />
with good sun exposure, Guyot-trained vines, low<br />
yields, meticulous attention to the health of the vines<br />
and harvesting exclusively by hand.<br />
